Red line - neckline resistance

Blue line - trend line support

Red triangle - Head

Blue triangles - shoulders

Gold price is trading below the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour chart. However, the price may be forming an inverted head and shoulders pattern. For this pattern to be valid, we need to see the gold price moving higher towards $1,338 and test the neckline. This way the right shoulder will be formed. This is now very important resistance.

Magenta line - long-term resistance

Red line- trend line support

Daily trend remains neutral as the price is inside the Daily Kumo. The price has broken the red trend line support and the tenkan-sen (red line indicator). $1,300 is important cloud support. If broken, we should expect the gold price to go towards $1,280-70. Resistance is at $1,340. Upon a break above it, we will most probably break above the double top resistance.
